Chapter 17: The Secret Passage
Everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect this old man to be able to speak Chinese. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, they were all the best of each faction, and they only came to their senses in an instant. Tianming opened his mouth and said, "Old man, we are disciples of the four major sects of the Central Plains. ”
"I know, you just asked my guards to report it." The old man interrupted Tianming's words.
"I'm asking you why you've come to me?" The old man asked.
Tianming was shocked, and judging from the tone of his voice, the old man didn't seem to be very happy about their arrival.
But Tianming still said: "Old man, we are here for the demon clan to infiltrate the human realm. ”
When the old man heard Tianming say about the demon clan, his body trembled slightly with his back to them, but they were all waiting for the old man's answer, and they didn't notice this subtle movement.
"Demon Clan?" The old man muttered in his mouth, and then said: "The demon clan is on the opposite side of the 100,000 mountains, if you want to find them, you should go to the opposite side to find them, how can you find the demon clan in my Xijiang Miao Village." ”
"Sir, we just wanted to ask, have you ever seen the demon clan pass through here and sneak outside?" Tianming still asked unrelentingly.
"Nope." The old man replied crisply.
He never stood up, and sat on his knees with his back to Tianming. Tianming couldn't tell that his face was a brother's expression, but he still refused to believe what the old man said.
Tianming took a step forward and said slowly: "Old man, the demon clan is brutal by nature, I believe you have heard of the demon war for thousands of years, right?" How many of our Terran children have been killed by the Demon Clan, although you Miao Clan do not have a deep relationship with the Han people, but you are also a member of the Terran Race. Moreover, although you have not helped each other for thousands of years, and you have no grudge against the demon clan, it is hard to guarantee that you will not be targeted by the demon clan because of anything in the future. Now, the demon clan secretly sent people to sneak into the realm of the human race, I don't know what the plan is, if you don't stop them, I'm afraid that soon, it will inevitably set off a demon war, and then all the creatures in the world will be ruined, but I'm afraid that you Miao people can't stay out of it. Please think twice. With that, he bowed to the old man.
These words also infected other people on the side, and everyone saluted together, and said in their mouths: "Please think twice, seniors." ”
The old man's body with his back to everyone trembled even more deeply, and everyone could already see it.
Ahead, the old man slowly stood up. His movements were slow and seemed to be difficult, and the moment he got up, his body was trembling slightly, as if this movement had consumed all his strength. Finally, he stood up, turned around, and faced the crowd.
This time, Tianming finally saw the appearance of the old man.
His old cheeks were covered with so many wrinkles that they couldn't see his face clearly.
Tianming was surprised: "Old man? ”
The old man's face was expressionless, it could also be said that he couldn't see the expression, and he said slowly: "That's right, the demon clan went out from us. ”
"Really?" Now it was everyone's turn to be surprised, although they had a premonition before, they still found it hard to believe.
"Why?" Tianming asked.
"Because the Miao people also need to survive," he said, he walked straight to the place where he was almost at the door, and continued: "The reason why the demon clan used to be at peace with us was only because they thought that we were of no value to them here, and that we were not as prosperous as the Central Plains. But now they are different, they are not as powerful as they used to be, and because the rest of the way to the Terrans has been mastered by the Primordial Gate, they can only go out from us. Because we have no one to govern here, and even if there is someone to govern, it is not their opponent. If I don't let them pass through here, I'm afraid that all the thousands of people in our Xijiang Miao Village will become dead corpses now. So, I didn't have a choice either. ”
"Amitabha," Mingxin listened to the old man's words, and couldn't help reciting the Buddha's name in his mouth.
Even Xiao Ruoshui's eyes, which have always been indifferent, seem to have some sympathy at this moment, and a trace of unbearability.
I don't know if he said too many words at once, causing him to be a little emotional, he coughed all of a sudden, and his figure seemed like a young butterfly in the wind, crumbling in Tianming's eyes. The two guards at the door hurriedly walked in, helped him, and shouted, "Patriarch! ”
A gentle pat on the back for him eased the situation and made him feel better.
The old man coughed again and said, "I'm fine." ”
Tianming continued to ask, "Can you ask the Four Great Sects for help?" ”
The old man broke away from the help of the guards and said with a smile: "The four major factions? ”
Tianming nodded: "Hmm." ”
The old man walked towards Tianming again, his body was almost attached to Tianming's body, seeing that his body was almost close to him, Tianming subconsciously took a step back, only to hear the old man say: "Among the four major factions, Zixiao Palace is in the Central Plains, Moro Temple is in the northwest, and Xianling Island is on the island of the East China Sea, which one is not thousands of miles away from us." If the demon clan really attacks, they won't be able to save it even if they want to. ”
Duanmu Haoyang heard him talk about the other three factions, but he didn't mention the Primordial Gate, and reminded on the side: "There is also the Primordial Gate." ”
The old man glanced back at him, and he didn't know what other look was hidden in his eyes, and said, "Primordial Gate? Yes, the primordial gates are indeed the closest to us, but it is better to ask for them than for ourselves. The sarcasm in the words was obvious.
"You old man, how do you speak?" Seeing him slandering his own sect, Duanmu Haoyang said angrily.
But the old man still looked at him with no fear in his eyes.
Tianming pulled Duanmu Haoyang's sleeve and reminded him not to be angry. After all, he Duanmu Haoyang is also a cultivator, if he starts with an old man in his old age because of this, and spreads it, he is afraid that the face of the primordial door will be lost.
Duanmu Haoyang thought about it carefully, and it was true. It's just that at this moment, he doesn't want to listen to this old man anyway. He snorted coldly and turned away.
"Old sir, although I don't know why you have such an opinion about the Primordial Gate, but everyone is a human race, and I believe that if you really encounter a crisis, the Primordial Gate will definitely not ignore it."
Tianming said calmly.
"Maybe." The old man lowered his head and stopped looking at him.
Tianming continued to ask, "Old man, since the demon clan is such a big threat to you, why don't you move out of here?" ”
Everyone was also a little curious, and they all looked at the old man in the field.
"Hehe," the old man smiled suddenly, with a strange smile, "how easy it is to say, we have lived here for thousands of years. This is a wild land for you Central Plains people, but it is a homeland for us Miao people. Who wants to leave their homeland and go to a strange place? If you were to let your Zixiao Palace move to this 100,000 mountain, would you agree? Therefore, even if we die, we will not leave our homeland. It is better to die in your homeland than to live in a foreign land. ”
His successive questions were really difficult for Tianming to answer.
"Yes, if it were me, I'm afraid I would choose the same as them." Tianming thought to himself.
Tianming glanced at Duanmu Haoyang and Shangguan Mo on the side again, how could their primordial door not be like this? In order to protect the human race, he moved to Fanjing Mountain, thousands of miles away, and left his original homeland, no one is willing.
Thinking of this, Tianming suddenly felt that the primordial gate was not so bad, and Duanmu Haoyang was not so unbearable, they had endured so much, and it was understandable that they had some dissatisfaction.
Just, is that really it?
Wu Yue took the first step, stepped out, and said: "Old man, since this is the case, we also know about you, and when we go back this time, we will definitely tell the head of the family, you say yes, Tianming?" ”
Tianming nodded again and again and said, "Yes." ”
Wu Yue said again: "You see, he has agreed, he is the most beloved disciple of the head of the family, his words will definitely be listened to, and the head of the master is the most compassionate, and he will definitely help you." ”
"Uncle Master? But Zixiao Palace is in charge of Lin Zhongzi Lin Zhenren? The old man suddenly turned his head and asked.
Tianming was stunned for a moment, then woke up and said, "It's the family teacher." ”
The old man glanced at Tianming carefully again, as if he wanted to see him through, and after a while, he said, "Since I am a disciple of Lin Zhenren, I am naturally relieved." ”
Tianming said happily: "Old man, since you are already relieved, can you tell us how the demon clan got out." In this way, we can also eradicate these demon clans, and as for your safety, we will definitely guarantee it. ”
"On the opposite mountain, there is a passage that can directly reach the ancestral land of the demon clan. That's where they got to us and infiltrated the outside world. The old man said slowly.
"I see."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize, they didn't expect the demon clan to dig a passage in the mountain, otherwise if they flew directly into the sky, it would indeed be too easy to be discovered.
"Thank you, sir." Tianming said respectfully.
The old man waved his hand and said, "Thank you for not needing, as long as you remember what you have done." ”
Tianming said solemnly: "I dare not forget." ”
